sious to our Mayor" put by 'Ci,i.
Gen." I don't believe that he will
be able to answer these charges, Nc
more than the honorable Aldermen
who decorate the minute books al
the town with their crosses for sig
natures. / think it is hish time
that our citizens should take some
steps to clean out this Ausean sta
ble. If they do not win to see orr
town so to destruction. Such n
Town Council as We have is a dis
grace, and wouid not be suffered
tweAty-fonr hours in any other
community. The only thing to i"
is to form an investigating commit
tee, and l have no doubt there will
he found plenty Of material to pros
ecute every one of them. SD to he
rid forever Of this set Of ignOrants,
who are unworthy to occupy places
1T trust or honor.
In giving publicity to my re-
marks. you will much ob.ige.

his own expense OF several hundred
dollars, a very fine and substantial
bridge across the said Bayou. This
bridge is about 80 feet long by ID
feet wide, aud 5 feet above high
water. and leaves a space OF 25 feet
for the logs to pass through; but
should rainy weather set in. the
logs that are loose in great number
above this bridge will come against
il and surely demolish it. AS the,
did the Que that stood two years
ago at the mouth of this stream.
The bridge is four squares from
the Lake. and gives access from
Vaudeville to the Fontainbleau
Plantation, aud to the eastern part
ii the parish. 1t is a great help to
the citizens in general. We think
that our me,nb r Of the Police Jury
should take some steps for the pnr-
pose of compelling those concerned
in the log business to leave GER
tain space clear. SO that the inbab-
itants living back on the Bayou
could come to the village in their
boats. and not have to foot II in all
kinds of weather. Our ans lers have
to desist tempting the bass and
trout. as the logs interfere with
their fishing.
